Emerging market bonds. Some people see it as an investment. I see it as an opportunity. An opportunity to generate the capital that’s needed to finance infrastructure, create employment, and broaden the tax base in developing countries. Emerging market bonds can be an engine for economic development.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t always work out that way. Sometimes the capital is squandered and the opportunity is lost. The unexpected is a daily occurrence in my profession.

And I can’t do it alone. Emerging market investing is a team sport.

Hello, hello, can you hear me?

Hello, Samy. We can hear you well.

Good. How is the weather in London?

Oh great, it’s raining finally.

Oh, well welcome back. I’m curious to hear about your site visit.

It went very well. We found it to be insightful, and it was good to be on the ground actually visiting the plant. It’s made us feel more comfortable with our investment decision.

The views and opinions expressed are those of the investment analyst at the time of production and are subject to change without notice.

All investments are subject to risk, including the possible loss of principal. International investments can be riskier than U.S. investments due to the adverse effects of currency exchange rates, differences in market structure and liquidity, as well as specific country, regional, and economic developments. These risks are generally greater for investments in emerging markets.

Bonds may decline in response to rising interest rates, a credit rating downgrade or failure of the issue to make timely payments of interest or principal. To the extent a fund holds foreign bonds, it will be subject to special risks, including potentially adverse political and economic developments overseas, greater volatility, lower liquidity, and the possibility that foreign currencies will decline against the dollar. A fund’s investments in emerging markets are subject to the risk of abrupt and severe price declines.
